Windows 10: Drive Letter

I have automatic updates for windows 10.

I have a separate drive normally connected to one of my windows devices. For many years this drive now identifies 100's of folders and many more files. When first installed it was allocated letter 'F' which since my latest update has now been referenced letter 'G'. when trying to change the drive letter back to 'F' the letter is not available. My files are referenced throughout all my systems and devices (also emails and remote) using drive 'F'. This is almost an insurmountable problem. I hope there is a simple solution available. Help!

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
